have you studied all the test cases? ahaha if yes, why don't you work on reiser4 and make it become suitable for mainline?
since reiser4 isn't in the mainline because it's badly developed, with redundant code, badly commented code, and unreadable code.
These are all technical issues. If you feel more intelligent that kernel people, why don't you work on it to make it better??

What weird CONSPIRACY is this?
Meanwhile, it shows your status as "banned"? Could this be true? After all these years of ranting and tilting at windmills, you've finally been banned?
It's a Christmas miracle!

I think he was banned because he once again added "Jews" into his conspiracy theory claiming that Jews bought out Novel and ruined Suse in one of the forum posts. Micheal already gave him a warning about his racist comments in the past. Don't look for the post though it seems it has been deleted.
and I think it was very good decision I mean although Jade conspiracy theories were sometimes entertaining I think his racist comments are more then enough to justify the ban.

OK to help get back on topic, are there any other kernel sabotage attempts ever noted?

He'll probably be back shortly with another screenname.
As far as "Linux saboteurs", what he's referring to is what sane people call "bugs". In software development, sometimes changes are made that inadvertently break functionality. To Jade, this was evidence of "sabotage".

OK good point, but what about blatant attempts to sabotage the Linux kernel? Are there people out there who submit code to purposely break a subsystem and how good is such sabotage detected and reported?Last edited by DeepDayze; 04 January 2009, 10:23 PM.

There was an incident in 2003 in which someone tried to insert a local root exploit into the kernel (by inserting a "uid = 0" into a conditional, i.e. disguised as a check). It was caught, arguably because they tried to insert it by breaking into the CVS mirror and inserting it directly rather than by submitting a patch. On the other hand, if they had submitted it as a patch, it would have almost certainly been caught because it was a pretty critical file.

Originally posted by yesterday View PostBlatant sabotage attempts would be easily spotted by a project's many users and developers. Let's hypothesize that there IS sabotage. Why isn't there a large user and developer outcry? A few whack-jobs on the forum doesn't count -- why isn't a group of developers in control of Reseir4 blogging and slashdotting and lkmling about malicious patching? Either there is no such community (meaning that the sabotage issue is moot) or no such sabotage is taking place.
